I had an issue where I would journal stuff, and then never look at what I wrote. So I thought it'll be cool to schedule something that will get sent to you at a later time (like a time capsule). Also, was inspired by futureme, where you can send yourself letters that'll arrive in the future.
You might like Diarium, a local-first journaling app that will bring up past entries a year later. Since journalling is private, not everyone is comfortable sharing with an email provider.
Good point on the privacy. I did think long and hard about this... and ultimately it's kind of hard to do privacy well with email.
In-app push notifications are better in this regard, but I figured it's a lot harder to find users to try my app, and also, emails are very accessible.
Diarium seems like a great app!
